LOCAl, NATIONAL, WORLD NEWS THE KOKOMO TRIBUNE Page 2 SATURDAY, JULY 15, 1972 Clinton Fair Opens With Girl Daredevils Plus Carnival, Exhibits, Contests FRANKFORT The niintnn The creation of a new staff position and anticipated hikes in utility rates account for most of the eight per cent increase in the budget proposal of the Kokomo Board of Public Works and Safety for 1973. The budget proposal from the works board was passed on first reading by the city council in June as part of the record-high $6.8 million civil city budget. The complete expenditure package is scheduled for second reading by the council later this month and final reading at the end of August. John Daly, city controller and president of the works board, said the position of personnel coordinator was included in the budget proposal with the intent of having someone to handle records of the nearly 500 city employes. He said the coordinator would also set up job descriptions for all city employees, act as a liaison between city officials and the municipal workers union be responsible for hiring the summer work force and administer the Blue Cross-Blue Shield medical plan for city employes.

The personnel coordinator would receive an annual salary of $8,440 in 1973. Accounts for utility payments are up across the board in the works board proposal for next year. Increases are $500 for telephone and telegraph, $15,000 for electric current, $1,000 for gas. and $8,000, water. Daly said the increases are to offset rate increases already in effect or ones which are anticipated.

He said rates for electricity will be up 10 to 12 per cent by the end of next year and rates for gas are expected to be up six per cent. The city's proposed electric bill for 1973 is also up because of street lights being added this year and more are to be installed next year. It costs the city about $4 per month for each street light. The water bill is up, in part, because of additional hydrant rentals. Daly said' the city rents about 1,100 hydrants from the Kokomo Water Works Co.

at an average annual cost of $139. each. A $5,000 decrease in anticipated expenditures is reflected in the buildings and structures account. Daly said there has been considerable remodeling of City Hall already this year and he does not anticipate much will be done in 1973. Daly said accounts for repairs to curbs and sidewalks and flood control are included annually more for potential need rather than actual need.

He said the sidewalk repair account has been used in the past to rebuild walkways around city-owned structures The account for flood control, he said, exists to provide some funds in case of serious flooding.

Military sources said North Vietnamese gunners shot down a helicopter killing Col.

Nguyan Trong Bas, chief of staff of the airborne division making the advance from the northeast. Paratroopers within a mile of the southern and southeastern edges of the city were shelled and engaged by enemy troops but claimed they killed 19 enemy while losing four killed and four wounded, a spokesman said. Far to the rear, North Vietnamese gunners fired between five and 10 rounds of 122mm artillery into Hue hitting south of the Perfume River for the first time in nearly two weeks of almost daily shillings. Two of the shells landed near an American advisers' compound, but no U. S.

casualties were reported. A government military spokesman in Hue said one Vietnamese was killed and 13 were wounded. Farther to the south, enemy gunners shelled a South Vietnamese fuel depot at the former American port of Cam Ranh Bay, destroying an undisclosed quantity of gasoline, the Saigon command reported. In the air war, the U.S. Navy announced it had introduced a new television-guided, bomb that scored direct hits against its first six targets in North Vietnam.

The bomb, called "Fat Albert" by Navy aviators, was called an improved version of the "Walleye," a er guided to its target by a television camera in its nose. The new bomb knocked out four bridges and two military supply buildings in its first six missions, a spokesman said. The U.S. Command announced that American pilots flew 270 air strikes against targets in North Vietnam Thursday, leveling three coastal defense sites and nearly a dozen military buildings in the Hanoi-Haiphong egion.

Display space -is also rented to local Deny Request To Replay Chess Game REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP)- Bobby Fischer charged Friday that tournament organizers seemed to "upset and provoke me" deliberately, but an appeals committee rejected his request to replay the chess game he forfeited to Boris Spassky. The world champion from the Soviet Union was awarded Thursday's second game in the championship match when Fischer refused to appear, staying in his hotel suite, because he objected to three moving picture cameras in the hall. Thus Spassky, who won the first game, was 2-0 in the 24-game series. He needs 10 more points to retain the title. A victory counts one point and a draw half a point.

Fischer said that if the forfeit ruling were reversed and all cameras were removed, he would go ahead with the match. This demand came despite the fact the movie and television rights allowed the Icelandic Chess Federation to offer a record $125,000 purse for both players. Gumundur Thorarinsson, president of the Icelandic federation, said the cameras would be removed, but that Spas- sky's game point would stay. That still left the future of the championship in doubt. Thorarinsson said that if the match was stopped by Fischer's disqualification, the organizers would not pay the loser's share.

This meant that Fischer could not only lose his chances at the title but a great sum of money. As the loser he would be entitled to $46,875 from the chess federation, $45,000 from a purse of about $120,000 offered by British financier James Slater, and $27,500 from television and movie rights. In a seven-page letter to Lothar Schmid, the chief referee, the American said he was told the cameras would be silent and invisible but "nothing could have been farther from the facts." He previously had told Schmid that although he could not see or hear the cameras, the knowledge that they were there made him nervous. Andrew Davis, Fischer's lawyer who arrived in the morning from New-York, appeared upset by the ruling. Asked if Fischer would appear for the third game Sunday, he replied: "I can't comment on that." Yefim Geller, Spassky's second, and Viktor Ivonin, from the Soviet Sports Committee, urged strict application of the tournament rules.

These provide that the clock must be started if a player doesn't appear on time for a game and after an hour the game is forfeited if he doesn't appear. businesses.
